Subject: [PATCH 4.9 69/96] x86/cpufeatures: Add X86_BUG_CPU_INSECURE
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
commit a89f040fa34ec9cd682aed98b8f04e3c47d998bd upstream.
Many x86 CPUs leak information to user space due to missing isolation of
user space and kernel space page tables. There are many well documented
ways to exploit that.
The upcoming software migitation of isolating the user and kernel space
page tables needs a misfeature flag so code can be made runtime
conditional.
Add the BUG bits which indicates that the CPU is affected and add a feature
bit which indicates that the software migitation is enabled.
Assume for now that _ALL_ x86 CPUs are affected by this. Exceptions can be
made later.
